POST STATS:

SHARE

Windows support has been added as part of our latest release. You can now:

monitor logs from any applications running on Windows

monitor Windows event logs

configure the Logentries agent as a Windows service

The Logentries agent comes in the form python script or as a Windows executable. The executable is useful if you don’t want to download Python for windows and the Python/Windows extensions. Configuring Python on Windows may not be ideal if you have lots and lot of servers that you want to collect logs from – in this case use the executable we provide.
